Newbie here. 46 years old (will be 47 March 14). Been using nicotine via multiple delivery systems for over 30 years. Just had a molar pulled and used it as a jump start to quit. Haven't dipped or smoked since March 4th at 0830 right before I went to the dentist. I'm coping so far. Honestly, I relied on the painkillers for a few days to not only deal with the tooth pain (I really didn't have any) but to get through nicotine withdrawal. Painkillers gone.
I'm tired of living a double life and hiding my nicotine addiction from everyone.
Tired of constantly chewing gum, washing my hands etc.
